The Indian cricket team is grappling with concerns over its top-order batting performance as they prepare for the upcoming Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne. Despite a resilient effort in the third Test at the Gabba, where India managed to draw the match after a challenging start, the batting lineup's inconsistency remains a focal point. The team is optimistic that the batting conditions in Melbourne and Sydney will be more favorable, providing an opportunity for the top order to regain form. REUTERS
In the same Test, Australia faced a setback with Travis Head sustaining an injury, adding to the team's challenges. The rain-affected match concluded in a draw, leaving the series tied at 1-1. Both teams are now gearing up for the next Test, with India aiming to capitalize on the improved batting conditions to strengthen their position in the series.
